In a conversation with host Farron Cousins (a DeSmog contributor since 2011), Mikulka cites the recent revelations of ExxonMobil’s extensive and accurate
climate research — followed by decades of attacking that same science —
as evidence of the oil industry’s willingness to deny science in the
pursuit of profit.

The discussion focuses on how the exact same thing is happening with
the rail shipment of volatile crude oil, and how the oil industry has
found a willing partner to challenge the science of crude oil in the Department of Energy.
